This year the PD Research Symposium will be held Dec.16-18 in Sacramento at the Hyatt Regency Hotel. More than 100 people from around the world are expected to attend the Symposium, which is intended to bring researchers together to discuss their work and the work of others on Pierce's disease (PD) and its vectors.

The event also gives winegrape growers an opportunity to interact directly with researchers and talk about the impacts of PD and the progress made in finding solutions.
